The big thing for you to figure out right now will be which carriers are even taking Cargo Vans on..alot aren't...Then as was said, ask the hard questions of the recruiters and figure out which company fits your wants and needs... Premimum in Toledo is a good Carrier , http://www.ptlllc.com/...

you need work, take it..learn the business and in 6 months, move on to something in the 60/40 split area...

Ahhh...is it reallt that important?? He, I care how they get there or what the fsc actually is, as long as the total pd to the truck is enough for me to move, its all good...No matter how they get to that figure...

A Sprinter again is classified differently by different carriers..personally, id tell you to quit trying to figure it out..Find a carrier you think you want to lease to, then work within their system to decide what unit works best for you..But in general, a Sprinter is classified within the CV...

What size Penske cube are you looking at?? The older units are 10,000 gvw and are considered a "B".. The new units are 12,300 gvw, and are considered a "C" by some carriers..But then there are carriers that consider them a "Super B" and yet other carriers call them, a "small straight".. And...

Just a quick note on this thread... the 1st driver we put in the van didn't work out. After putting another driver in it ( a EO member), he now owns the van... He worked hard and per the contract at the end of the agreed time, I turned the title over to him...He went from driver to owner...

I can think of 1 carrier that will not even allow you to put a "OOIDA" sticker on a truck leased to them...The chances of any of the mid to large carriers allowing you to sell "AD" space will be slim to none...and the fact is, the any money generated would go to the owner of the truck, not you...

As was said, there is no best carrier...ask questions of drivers and recruiters and find the one that wil work for you... Now, coming into the business with no experience in a van as a team, wow..better you then me..but If i was in that place and wanted to LEARN the business, I'd talk to Anne...

I am not positive because running under my own authority does not interest me at all, but i am pretty sure i have seen it said that you can not get a DOT # for a truck under 10,001 lb gvw...i am pretty sure ive seen that stated by people that would know...Blizzard????

Except CV's...:D

Sitting 24 hrs and having someone move in ahead of you is normal in the business and the more vans a company has, the better the chance of it happening..and you will also be the benefit of that same system every once in a while also....and they might not call it 1st outs, but you can believe it...

I am not trying to be a smartazz here , but based on the questions you are asking NOW (which is not a bad thing at all) how much research of this business did you do BEFORE you jumped in??? Seems that while you are trying to educate yourself now, the mistakes you have made already have run...

U-ship?? LOL...hey i know a guy that hauls dogs for people....If you are having problems getting loaded with the kitty, why stay?? I am thinking that ...well, just what are you looking for from Panther?? You say there are no "backhauls" for CV's at Panther..are you loking to get back home...

until you are going to buy a truck, go to your closest truck stop or home depot and buy 4 20ft or longer ratchet straps with "hook" on the end of them...hire a rollback (wrecker company) and load them 4 deep and stack then and strap them down..or rent a 20ft stake truck and do it yourself with...
